From the supplier: Portland,OR, has developed into a metropolitan area and has become a model for urban regional development for others which are finding ways toward solving economic growth. Development is kept at an urban level, which includes the preservation of farmlands, forests and the use of natural resources. The transportation system has veered away from the dependence on highways. Affordable housing programs are in place. Economic planners and public officials view Portland's regional approach toward urban development as outstanding, sensible, balanced and competitive.

From the supplier: Welfare recipients in Oregon are benefiting from the state's work-oriented program according to a Manpower Demonstration Research Corp study. The study compared the earnings and employment levels of participants in the work-oriented program and the traditional program. It was reported that compared to those in the traditional program, participants in the welfare-to-work program found jobs 11% more frequently, tended to work full-time, received health insurance from employers and had salaries which were 35% higher over a two-year period.

From the supplier: The state of Oregon has launched a new welfare reform program designed to make recipients work for their benefits. Called 'Jobs Plus,' the new program is still in the pilot stage and involves approximately 1,000 families in six counties. Under Jobs Plus, welfare recipients will earn minimum wage for up to nine months' work for private employers, who will then be reimbursed by the state with money which would otherwise have been paid out in benefits. The main advantage of the program is that it allows welfare recipients to work without losing health and child care benefits.

Pages: 33. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Metro, formerly known as Metropolitan Service District, is the regional governmental agency for the Oregon portion of the Portland metropolitan area. It is the only directly-elected metropolitan planning organization in the United States. Metro in its current form evolved from Columbia Region Association of Governments (CRAG) (19661978) and a predecessor Metropolitan Service District (MSD) (19571966). A statewide ballot measure established Metro in May 1978. It went into operation on January 1, 1979. In 1992 voters approved a home-rule charter that identified Metro's primary mission as planning and policy making to preserve and enhance the quality of life and the environment, and changed the agency's name to Metro. This charter was amended in November 2000 when Ballot Measure 26-10 was passed by voters. The measure eliminated the Executive Office and reorganized executive staff. Metro is governed by a council president (David Bragdon) elected region-wide and six councilors who are elected by district (Rod Park, District 1; Carlotta Collette, District 2; Carl Hosticka, District 3; Kathryn Harrington, District 4; Rex Burkholder, District 5; and Robert Liberty, District 6). Metro also has an auditor currently Suzanne Flynn who is elected region-wide. Each serves a four-year term. The council appoints a chief operating officer and an attorney. Metro's master plan for the Portland region includes transit-oriented development: this approach, part of the new urbanism, promotes mixed-use and high-density development around light rail stops and tra...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1077014 ...

Chapters: Portland Water Bureau. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 48. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Portland Water Bureau is the municipal water department for the city of Portland in the U.S. state of Oregon. The bureau manages a water supply that comes mainly from the Bull Run River in the foothills of the Cascade Range east of the city and secondarily from the Columbia South Shore Well Field near the Columbia River. As of 2010, Randy Leonard is the city commissioner in charge of the bureau, and the chief administrator is David G. Shaff. The budget for fiscal year 200910 is about $148 million. In 1843 or 1844, William Overton and Asa Lovejoy, while traveling by canoe from Fort Vancouver to Oregon City, stopped to rest on the west bank of the Willamette River and agreed it would be a good place for a town. Laying claim to 640 acres (260 ha) of riverfront land, they founded what in 1851 became the incorporated city of Portland. Relying entirely on water from wells until the mid-1850s, Portland residents became concerned when polluted drainage from the city's growing number of houses began to contaminate the wells. In 1856, Pioneer Water Works, a private company, got permission from Portland's government to pipe water from Caruthers Creek to some of these homes. Twice changing hands and becoming the Portland Water Company, the business added new pipes and pumps to obtain water from Balch Creek and the Willamette River, but failed to meet ever-increasing demand for clean water. Based on water-quality surveys and engineering studies, the Portland Fire and Water Committee recommended in 1872 that the City build its own water system. To issue bonds to finance the project, it needed state approval. The Oregon Legislature denied approval until 188485, when waste from upstream fac...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=22983801 ...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Portland Streetcar is a streetcar system in Portland, Oregon that opened in 2001 and serves areas surrounding downtown. It is currently a single line that is almost 4 miles (6.4 km) long and has about 12,000 boardings per day, but construction of a second line is underway. The Portland Streetcar is the first new streetcar system in the United States since World War II to use modern vehicles. Like some of Portland's original streetcar lines, redevelopment has been a major (and successful) goal of the project. Like trains on the heavier-duty MAX light rail network which serves the broader Portland metropolitan area, streetcars are operated and maintained by TriMet personnel. ... Read more
